Good Book for Microbe Identification?
Does anyone have any good suggestions for a book that has many microscopic images of microbes to help with the identification process?
Re: Good Book for Microbe Identification?
For fresh water pond life we use "Das Leben im Wassertropfen" here in Germany. It will probably be helpful even when it is written in a language you don't speak. It has been on the market for a long time, you could buy used an older edition.

Wassertropfen, indeed.

Does that include forms of yeast and bacteria?

Brock's is not very good for ID, btw. Nematology keys are surprisingly expensive, although I hear good things about the Perry and Moens and there is a nice fluorescence photo on the cover.

Identification of bacteria and yeast generally take biochemical methods at a minimum, so a pictorial-only atlas is of little use.

Is there free to download book which is well known and used by the community?

Check out the Microbe Hunter Wikki. There is at least one good publication in PBF form.

Nice compilation. I just checked out Free-Living Freshwater Protozoa, a Color Guide by Patterson as a pdf, not bad at all.Tom Jones wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 2:20 amGuide to Microlife, Rainis and Russel: https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Microlife- ... 774&sr=8-1

Re: Good Book for Microbe Identification?
Here's another book that is free as a pdf that has beautiful photos of a wide range of organisms. I find it very useful for identification and just admiring the fantastic photos.

Re: Good Book for Microbe Identification?
Hmmm..pics could have been better, but you can see some of the books mentioned.

You can, mostly, however the ring-binded books are intriguing ...

Re: Good Book for Microbe Identification?
It's an older photo as I re-arranged the books on a regular basis. One was a book on microscopy and another was Aquatic beetles. I hope to finally begin spending quality time in my lab if I retire next year. Then I can participate more in the forums and maybe even finally make that trip to visit Apochronaut.LOL.
